1 Vnto the end, for Idithun, a psalme to Asaph.
2 VVith my voice I haue cried to our Lord: with my voice to God and he attended to me.
3 In the day of my tribulation I sought God, with my handes in the night before him: and I was not deceiued.
4 My soule refused to be comforted, I was mindeful of God, and was delighted, and was exercised: and my spirite fainted.
5 Myne eies preuented the watches: I was trubled, & spake not.
6 I thought vpon old daies: and the eternal yeares I had in minde.
7 And I meditated in the night with my hart, and I was exercised, and I swept my spirite.
8 Why, wil God reiect for euer: or wil he not adde to be better pleased as yet?
9 Or wil he cutte of his mercie for euer, from generation vnto generation?
10 Or wil God forget to haue mercie? or wil he in his wrath keepe in his mercies?
11 And I sayde: Now haue I begune: this is the change of the right hand of the Highest.
12 I haue bene mindful of the workes of our Lord: because I wil be mindful, from the beginning of thy meruelous workes.
13 And I wil meditate in al thy workes: and in thy inuentions I wil be exercised.
14 O God in the holie is thy way: what God is great as our God?
15 thou art the God that doest meruelous thinges. Thou hast made thy powre knowne among peoples:
16 thou hast with thine arme redemed thy people, the children of Iacob, and Ioseph.
17 The waters saw thee ô God, the waters saw thee: and they were afrayd, and the depthes were trubled.
18 A multitude of the sounding of waters: the cloudes gaue a voice. For in deede arrowes doe passe:
19 the voice of thy thunder in a wheele. Thy lightenings shined to the rounde world: the earth was moued and trubled.
20 Thy way in the sea, and thy pathes in many waters: and thy steppes shal not be knowne.
21 Thou hast conducted thy people as sheepe: in the hand of moyses and Aaron.
